BEATEN 17 TIMES SINCE 1929

THE record of Jim Braddock, world heavyweight champion, is one of the strangest in the books. . . . The ' Jerseyite uncrowned Max Baer in June, 1935, to startle the fistic world. . . . And hasn't fought since. . . . Jim moved into the heavyweight ranks in 1929 and lost 17 bouts before the match with Playboy Max. . . . Counting the title affair, the Irishman won 14 battles from 29 to '35, inclusive. . . . Which explains why the ring experts give him a low rating. . .. To his credit, however, Braddock won. his last two engagements in 1933 and was undefeated in 1934 and 1935. . . . In 1929, fighting as a light-heavyweight, he dropped a 15-rounder to Tommy Loughran, who was defending the 175-pound crown. 7 ” = » ” 2 j Undoubtedly the champion possesses more gameness than skill. . . . He always bounced back after a defeat and

kept plugging until the old ship came in. . . . The boxing form sheet, however, is sure to chalk James J. on the short’

side of the betting if and when he gets around to meeting Max Schmeling or Joe Louis. ha Braddock wasn’t foisted on the fight public. . . .. He was groping for employment when the big chance was offered and didn’t disappoint his backers. ... The veteran was in shape and Baer wasn’t. . .. Over the long route stamina was important, and Jim had barrels of it. » ” ” » ® ”

ATE reeeipts—the full amount—at the Hercules A, C. all-heavy-G weight wrestling show at the Armory tonight will be turned over to the Red Cross for flood relief. . . . And it is not the first time Matchmaker Lloyd Carfer has assisted a worthy cause. . . . Moreover, he knows about floods. . . . When Carter was a youngster his parents lived in East St. Loui§ when high water struck. . . . For three days they hoped for a turn for the better. . . . With no luck, and they escaped in a rowboat, saving only a few articles. sow ; 2 2 =n 8 8 NIOUX CITY was the first to complete its local Golden Gloves elimiS| nation tourney this year and first to pick its team. for the Tournament of Champions at Chicago. . .’. Four Indians and one Negro are included in the squad of eight. . .. When the Redskins go to the Windy City theyll be wearing feathers, head dress, blankets, moccasins and other regalia of their ancestors. . . . Bomber: Joe :Louis has: a hard time keeping his mind on his work during preparation for Bob Pastor. . . . Joe has opened a chicken barbeque inn on a highway near Detroit. . . . And Tony Canzoneri will open a restaurant in New York: . . Jack Kearns may find himself back of the eight ball in his first . venture as a boxing promoter in Detroit . . . His main go fighters, Barney Ross and Al Manfredo, will pocket 52 per cent of the gate and 20 per cent will go to the Olympic Club. : nu = #2 = OB GARBARK, with Toledo last year, will be given a thorough trial by the Chicago Cubs next season. ... He was obtained by purchase. . . . Bob is a graduate of ‘Alleghany College ‘and is a versatile pastimer, playing the outfield as well as doing a good turn: behind the plate. . . . Ray Lewis, who ran in two Olympic relay races for ‘Canada in 1932, now is a Pullman porter. , . « Wahoo Sam Crawford has lost out as an umpire in the Pacific Coast League. . .. D. C. Moore, listed on the Cincy Reds’ roster as a catcher, was with Macon in the Sally League last year. ... And played the outfield in one game of a double-header, then pitched a no-hit game in the nightcap. . . Also led the league in home runs. . . . Lee Gamble, another Cincy rookie, pilfered 51 bases in the Sally loop.

IGHT of the nine outfielders on the roster of the Brooklyn Dodgers are left-handed hitters. . . . Johnny Cooney is the lone exception. . .. And he throws left-handed. . . . Bob Pastor was maneuvered into a match with Joe Louis because he is managed by James J. Johnston Jr., son of the boxing promoter at Madison Square Garden. . . . And maybe that situation accounts for the build-up the New Yorker is receiving. . . . Softball is going big in Hollywood. . . . A park seating 4000 is crowded every night for the 15-cent double-headers. . . . Brooklyn has a 9-year-old bowler who has smacked the pins as high as. 175. . . . Forty-one pin boys will work in the A. B.C. tournament in New York. . .. All of at least 10 years’ experience.

Rideout Twins Mental And Physical Hazard

Times Special

DENTON, Tex., Jan. 26.—The mental hazard in sport, that invisible

barrier that has brought defeat to many ck n a new form to harrass America’s distance The hazards, two of them, are®

Wayne and Blaine Rideout, of North Texas State Teachers College, 20-year-old twins who beat Don Lash of Indiana in his recent two-mile race in the Sugar Bowl track meet at New Orleans. Wayne beat Lash handily, but his brother got a full share of the credit. ; : It was Blaine who dogged Lash’s footsteps at a fast pace for a mile and three-quarters. Wayne stayed closz behind. When Blaine tired, o Lash, too, was exhausted. His brother dropped out of the race and Wayne moved ahead to finish in 9:03.5, the second fastest time ever recorded for the distance on an American track.

. Veterans in Competition During their five years of competitiori, the Rideout twins have worked as a team. They look alike, run alike, and are inseparable companions. Both wear spectacles, even ‘when running.

Their teamwork has been especially valuable in running distance

races. Almost equally speedy afoot,’

one sets the pace that wears down - the leader. The other lags behind to take the front if his brother falters. Their coach, Choc Sportsman, gives the mental hazard of racing twins a share of the credit for Wayne's victory—although the time speaks for his fleetness. Sportsman explained the victory over Lash: “Blaine broke out in front with Lash, taking the outside and matching him stride for stride for five quarter-mile laps. He remained alongside all the time, even though he had to run 30 yards farther when staying on the outside. “In matching stride for stride with Lash, Blaine brought something more than physical pressure to bear. His doggedness soon developed into a mental hazard. Lash had encugh left to beat Blaine, but with another Rideout to contend with at the end it was too eat a tagk.” es or Seems Faster Oddly, Blaine usually runs ga faster two-mile race than his

brother. Wayne until last fall was trained in - shorter distances and had intended to run in the half-mile race. Their coach believes, however, that both have a fine chance to lower Josh's twomile record of 8:58.4. “Wayne's victory was not a fluke,” his coach insists. ‘We have two of the greatest distance runners

in the nation in those youngsters. Wait until they have a bit more experience. They should be unbeatable by 1938.” Born in Illinois The twins were born in Illinois and first went out for track at Tuscola, Ill, High School. They transferred to North Texas Teachers from the University of Alabama after taking their fashion work there last year. : Another pair of twins—Elmer and Delmar Brown, sprint stars— were well known in the Southwest as members of the N. T. S. T. C. squad. But their prowess has been overshadowed since the Sugar Bowl meet. Of the Rideouts, Sportsman commented: : . “It is only natural that brothers should be bound by a strong bond of loyalty, especially if they have

common birthdays, but I have never

seen an association quite as’ unselfish and as sincere as this one. “They are always together on and off the campus. They never exchange a cross word, They triumph at the Sugar Bowl is referred to by them as a victory for ‘us,’ and not for an individual.” In appearance, the twins are almost identical. Blaine weighs 144 pounds, two more than Wayne, and is nearly an inch taller.
